Ferguson! The distraction
by Pastor Mason Weaver
August 28, 2014
The entire world is
watching and even criticizing America over the news
out of Ferguson, Missouri and the death of a black
citizen at the hands of a local policeman.
Really? We are being scrutinized by Iran? Russia has
an opinion about freedom? China has advice on how we
should act? You mean to tell me the United Nations
is concerned about America's treatment of black
people living here?
Let's be honest! We all know the truth! We all see
the solution but do not want to pay the cost of
declaring the truth to a nation afraid of the truth.
Only slaves get angry and frustrated by injustice,
because only slaves think others have power over
their lives. Free people do not riot and burn down
their own stores (unless their favorite team wins
the championship) because they know the power is
theirs.
The residents of Ferguson have given their
political, social, economical and spiritual power
over to others. Unless change is made on an
individual level, you will always experience
frustration. If you support radio and television
stars who call you "bitches" and "hos", then don't
cry when your children become "bitches" and "hos".
If the only job you recognize and look up to are
pimps and drug dealers, if your children witness you
not going to work while supporting abusive services,
then expect them to reflect what you tolerate.
Stand up Ferguson, stop complaining, stop being
angry and start taking care of your business. You
know what you need to do, we will stand with you but
you must clean your own house. We will not clean it
for you.
Elect the next mayor, announce in advance who the
next police chief will be. All of you marching
pastors, get in the pulpit and declare your deacon
board for city council. Then watch what happens!
Want the solution? Stop electing people who abuse
you. You elect the chief, then complain about
police? You elect the city council, mayor and school
board, yet complain?
Take control of your family and community, then YOU
will have control. You are responsible, whether you
exercise that responsibility or not.

Dear Lord, forgive our
foolish ways
Graphic, Aug 28, Ghanadot - Managing the national
economy is similar to running our individual homes. The
government uses the money it gets from our taxes and
other income to build roads, schools, hospitals and the
like and to promote the earning capacity of the nation.
If what we earn from our cocoa, gold and other exports
are not sufficient to import the inputs for our
factories, drugs, vehicles etc., the nation goes into
debt. The way out is to curb our imports and increase
our exports.. .......More
